LIBERAL UNIONISTS.
they Hold an Important Confer.
ence at Westminster Hall.

LONDON, Dec. S.-LOrd Harrington
presided at the conference in Westmin-
Ster hall to-day of Liberal Unionists.
Many leaders of the party were on the
platform. Six hundred delegates were
present. The earl of Derby offered a
resolution in favor of increased eXer-
TONS to strengthen the UniOniSt party.
He said that the constituents, especially
those OF Scotland, showed a marked in
crease OF feellngin favor of the diSSed-
ents. The Irish question had been so
prolonged that it is possible that the
people might say it must be settled
somehow: but they should be made 10
understand that the granting of an Irish
parliament would be no settlement. but
only the beginning of an agitation as
violent and as troublesome as the last
one.
Lord Harrington, replying to vote Of
confidence, denied that the Cnionists
had deserted Liberal principles, which.
he said, did not belong to one man or
one party. If they had agreed to Mr..
GladStOne'S home rule scheme they
would have falsified the pledges they
had made before the general election.
Lord Harrington continued: I'VE were
told that the mode of operation in Ire
land
HAD BEEN CHANGED
owing to the sympathy of Englishmen.
But we did not see such Il great change.
Boycotting, intimidation, resistance at
evictions and non-payment of rents con-
tinued as before, with the open support
of portion and the federation of all the
English home rulers. Remember Mitch.
ellstown has been flung forth to animate
the passions of the people in their
struggle against the law. Every method
of open resistance short of rebellion has
been resOrted to with the tacit consent
of Mr.. Gladstone and the Liberal
leaders. The Unionists had satis4
factory understanding with the Con-
servatives, and would continue to act
with them" Referring to the fair trade
movement Lord Harrington said it was
not possible to speak in too strong terms
of those who spoke of returning to q
policy of protection. He hoped the Con-
sentative leaders would weigh well the
consequences before they gave their
succor and support to policy which
would lead to the disruption of the
unionist party. Those who advocated
fair trade must be responsible for the
consequences.

MASON CITY, To-, Dec. s. The news
of the arrest of Charles III. Klinefelter,
son of A. n. Klinefelter, wealthy
barb-wire manufacturer of Joliet, re-
ceived here to-day, is the all-abSOrbing
topic of conversation. He came here in
the early part of May and at once went
INTO the employ of the EXpress-Repub-
lican company as reporter. His uncle
was one of the prOprietors. He was at
once taken into the social circles of the
city. and was one of its leading lights.
lie went into the employ of the Chicago,
Milwaukee Il st. Paul company the lSt
of November as night baggageman.
Two weeks ago he Unexpectedly re-
signed, assigning no cause, and stating
that he was going to Chicago. The day
he resigned a trunk that had been
checked from st. Paul to Sioux City was
missed at this point. Comparison of
the Office books with the train baggage
mans books showed that trunk had
been checked from here to Chicago
which was not recorded on the office
books. On account of Klinefelter's sud
den resignation suspicion at once point
ed to him as being connected with the
robbery of the baggage. An interview
with Agent Allan revealed no more
than the above.

A FAMILY QUARREL.
1t Has Resulted in the Case Going
to the Courts.

Special to the Globe.
CEDAR RAPIDS, To-, Dec. S.-A sen-
sation was caused to-day by Judge
Whittam, United States commissioner,
issuing a warrant for the arrest of H.
J. Elliott, for sending matter of in
decent character through the mails.
The obnoxious circulars for which Mr..
Elliott and others are to answer were
the outcome Of the recent political con-
feud has existed between
the families Of George y. Owen and Mr..
Elliott, Il brother-in-law, and Carl and
Luther Owen, cousins of the former.
In the recent election George 3. Owen
was the Democratic candidate for
county auditor and during the last week
of the campaign the county was flooded
with anonymous circulars concerning
him and which contributed largely to
his defeat Mr.. Owen employed de-
tectiveS and after months
work they allege that they sue
ceeded in finding evidence enough to
fix the guilt on Mr.. Elliott and the two
Owens. The former is photographer
at Marion, and Carl Owen is druggist
at the same place. Luther. who it is
claimed furnished the circulars, is an
Omaha druggist, and all parties arc
highly connected. The officers could
not find Elliott tonight. The Owens
will be arrested tomorrow. and action
commenced against them for libel and
misuse of the mails. There is consider
able excitement concerning the matter.

BRAIN2RD, Mimi, Dee. Sat 4:30
this morning two freight trains on the
Northern Pacific railway came together
just east of Tamarac station, causing a
pretty bad wreck, besides killing two
brakemen and seriously iniuring an en-
gineer. 1t is und erStOOd that the trains
had orders to meet at Tamarac, but for
some reason the train going east, of
which ID. w. Travis, of BTainerd, was
the engineer, did not stop as ordered,
but proceeded east, with the result
stated. 1t is given out that Travis was
asleep when his train passed Tamarac.
Ed Cline, head brakeman on the west
bound train was instantly killed, and o.
W. Holmes, brakeman on the other
train, was fatally injured. and died be-
fore reaching this city. Both were ter
ribly mangled. Travis, the engineer,
had his left arm and head badly LAGER
ated, his right wrist severity injured,
and was Scalded about the head and

tarium here. Though his injuries are
severe they are not of serious char

WASHINGTON. Dee. S.-The jig is up
and nothing is left but good roads be-
tween here and Minnesota. Chicago got
the convention and there is a sound of
Iamentation at the headquarters of the
Argonants at the Arlington. TimByrnes
keeps lonely vigil there, looking with
sorrow that knows no SurccaSe at the
cmblems of the greatness Of NlinneapO-
rs, once the pride of the hotel. but now
the gibe OF every passing stranger. The
rooms are deserted and haunted only by
the stale fragrance of the free cigars
which accomplished nothing. The MEM
beers Of the committee consumed them
and drank our Old Crow, only to vote
for Chicago in corner of the Ebbitt
office. Col. Plummer mUrdliZeS on the
eyanescence of human hopes. the raven
mustache of Gov. McGill no longer
floats over Pennsylvania avenue like
the Oritiamme of Navarro. and the bald

CATION of ArgOnautS is scattered through
out the city seeking oblivion from s0r-
row in the many attractions of Babylon.
Jason did not get the golden fleece and
Nedea wonders about with diShevcled
hair. 1t i too. too bad The ArgOnautS
crowded the Union League building to-
day and while the committee sat behind
the closed doors. they were
FLUSHED WITH HOPE.
The first ballot gave Minneapolis six
votes. and they smiled in SicklX way.
The second gave them eight and they
cheered. The third gave Chicago the
convention and hope died They asked
nothing more and will go home in
misery. This all CHANGED, too. with
Freeman Lane in the committee. He
got in on a proxy from Montana and
SWure to dua freeman duty. When il
WAS announced that Minnesota should
open the ball and Dakota close ii the
ArgOnaut> were jubilant. Well.SeEat0r
" indum opened the ball, and Chicago,
Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Omaha and
other villages stood aghaSt before his
glowing word picture of Northwestern
greatness. Ii was a magnificent effort.
The other cities Clipped in and sang
their little song in turn until Dakota
was reached. Gov. Mellette took the
floor and made the hall ring with
the praises of Minneapolis. BY special
permission Col. Plummer was per
mitted to add word. and for fifteen
minutes the applause and laughter
shook the statue of Gen. Thomas out
side. But il was no use. The
WilrS of those Chicago wire
pullers blinded the eyes
of the committee. and they
went down To destruction. With willful
deliberatiOn the committee followed the
IL, .
wicked city of Chicago. The wall that
followed ruffied the calm waters of the
Potomac. but the committee went to a
reception at the league rooms tonight,
as blandly as though il had done a good
thing. The Argonauts are making the
best of it. but, of course. they will walk
home. They are now studying maps to
find a route TO Minnesota that does not

ST. CLOUD, Dec. S.-A disastrous col
lision occurred on the tracks of the
IIinckley division of the Manitoba road
and the Northern Pacific at the crossing
of the roads, just east of this city. early
this morning. A heavy freight train on
the llinckley had passed about half its
length over the Northern Pacific track
when an east-bound freight train on the
latter road came thlSdering along,
crashing into the side of the Hinckley
train. owing to the dense fog which
prevailed last night, Engineer q. w.
Cooper. of the Northern Pacific train,
says he was unable to discern anything
until he was right OIL to the train. which
was drawn across the track. He imme
diately reversed his engine and, together
with the fireman, jumped and escaped
without injuries. Eight cars of the
Hinckley train and three of the North
ern Pacific were totally demolished.
The engine of the Northern Pacific
train was also badl V damaged.

wisely.
We may congratulate ourselves on
the improved prospects of the RepUbli-
